how do you say you're sorry for just standing there, for what you didn''t do instead of did?

A thought

Who am I?

Me?
Christian, girl, teen. I love music, reading, the outdoors, swimming, horseback riding, and lots of other stuff. Bit of a tomboy, a dreamer and thinker.
I write what's on my heart. If you have any questions, thoughts, or whatever, comment! I'd love to hear from you.
Disagree with what I write? Feel free to comment. Please be respectful, though.
I hope you can relate to what I write.
Really, though-
Soli Deo Gloria!
